Skitso Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) Over 5000 downloads already! "These are wonderful maps Skitso and solve the only real problem I had with this excellent game." - Mustang Shooting Stars "They are so nice-looking!" -Podbelski "This map pack is absolutely amazing and is exactly what this game needed." - Junker154 "Thank you sir Skitso! - sectoid "Man I love your maps!" -Thixotrop "This map pack gives the game a new lease on life.

Cant wait until update" -radek "I think ur nick or name should be mentioned in the credites somehow for the effort u made for this game." -radek "An impressive piece of work." -Chris "That flea market looks really good." -Ol'Stinky "They look awesome!" -kabill "Your the best one making maps o.o" -Tactical Dragon "Thanks for the maps, dude.

Great work!" -Anderty "Loving this so far! +1 to you mate!" -FranTorres "You should add a plaque - "Beware, Genius at work"" -Silencer "Good stuff!!" -frank_walls "I use this map since quite some time and its GREEEEEEAT" - Ragnarok Thanks for all the praise and feedback. I truly appreciate it! WHAT IS IT? The pack contains more than 70 new high quality maps for desert, industrial, farm and middle east tilesets. In addition to these new maps, I've completely remade tons of vanilla maps and also made some smaller modifications to some of their ufo division to minimize the chance of dublicate maps on course of a single playthrough. All lightscout maps are now unique instead of just smaller versions of scout/corvette maps. All vanilla farm maps have also been more or less redone as I have always thought they are not quite up to standard and they also now contain forests to some degree. I've also included my improved tree stumps in this map pack as the vanilla versions are kinda ugly. The maps include lots of custom buildings and other props, random elements and multiple spawn point variations for both ufos and dropships. I've also added new forest tiles, (farm tileset), highway tiles (industrial), oasis tiles (desert) and walkable shipping container roofs with makeshift stairs to reach them (desert and industrial) and used them in several maps to give some additional variation in those tilesets. This map pack has now also merged in the Xenonauts: Community Edition (X:CE) So if you are using it, there's no need to download this separately. COMPATIBILITY This pack is 100% compatible with practically any release of Xenonauts. Also compatible with FitH and other major mods and is designed in a way you can overwrite everything when installing. Some of these maps have already been approved by GoldHawk's project lead, Chris, and are added officially in the game, but this pack has the definitive versions of all of them, so you can safely overwrite everything when installing the pack. These can be used mid campaign too with 100% save game compatibility. IMAGES Click the spoiler button below to see screenshots. HOW TO GET IT? V1.62 (Last updated 20.03.15 DDMMYY) >DOWNLOAD HERE< INSTALLATION Download the map pack Head to your Xenonauts install directory Backup everything in case something goes wrong. (Or for some bizarre reason would like to play the game without this pack ) Copy the content of the zip into the /assets/ folder in the Xenonauts directory overwriting everything. Install the stair patch (read this) Play the game! Acknowledgements: Special thanks go to Kabill and Khall for providing me several additional maps for industrial and middle east tilesets. These maps also gave me lots of inspiration and new ideas. Thanks guys! Thanks to khall for the great inspiration to my new rural factory map.

Kof Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Skitso, You're map pack is great but I'm running into issues with it on maps with forests where there are some clumps of what I'm assuming are trees, that are invisible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skitso Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 When have you downloaded the pack? There was a small invisible trees -issue I fixed yesterday afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderty Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Skitso,You're map pack is great but I'm running into issues with it on maps with forests where there are some clumps of what I'm assuming are trees, that are invisible. Just wanted to mention that too, as yesterday, while assaulting carrier, forest in front of UFO was 'bit weird. Some places I couldn't pass by, even with Hyperion. Guess, Skitso fixed that now. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kof Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) I downloaded it yesterday 1106 GMT, I will download the newest version. I'll let you know if I notice anything else. Thanks for your work - good job. Edited June 26, 2014 by Kof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnarok Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I second this. I certainly had invisible "trees" or something in various forest maps. I noticed this only because my soldiers would take a different route than i would expect them to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skitso Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Yeah, everybody experiencing this, please download the pack again. It should be fixed now. Sorry for the inconvenience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icyminileaf Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I can not download the pack by clicking the "download here" button.Any other way to get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntalas Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) Hello Skitso, thanks for the maps! I have found the following two bugs while enjoying them :-) In the first one, the tank is blocked by a lamp post and cannot exit the Chinook. Second one. My soldier meeds to do quite a diversion because he is blocked by some invisible trees? Here are the save games in case that you need them: [ATTACH]4598[/ATTACH]. PS: I downloaded your maps a few hours ago. PS2: Keep up the good work! mapBugs.zip mapBugs.zip Edited June 28, 2014 by ntalas typos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skitso Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 ntalas, the lamp post issue will be fixed in the next version update. The latter picture is fine. There's a hedgerow SE of your soldier blocking your way. It's just partially transparent as your unit is behind it. Thanks for reporting the lamp post issue though!

kahvipannu Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Have been trying these out, and I'm really liking your work Skitso (farms edit is much appreciated). Really adds to the game, I do hope you keep adding more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntalas Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Hi there, The latter picture is fine. There's a hedgerow SE of your soldier blocking your way. It's just partially transparent as your unit is behind it. R u sure? I uploaded the image on Stream for a higher resolution. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=277523918 If this is not a bug, would you consider a making this a "Change Request"? It would be cool to be able to pass my soldier through there! Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skitso Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 Yes, I'm sure. I checked the map with the editor. It's intentional that you can't pass there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SyDaemon Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Hi, I've recently found this. My sniper could go through the wall in the corner. http://www.goldhawkinteractive.com/forums/showthread.php/10718-Unofficial-Community-Mapping-Patch?p=122450&viewfull=1#post122450 I posted it in kabill's map patch thread initially, but realised I ought to be doing it here.

Skitso Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 I checked the building sub map and it seems to be ok, so must be a game issue then... Sorry, but can't fix that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybrbeast Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I've currently got an older version of the map pack installed, can I simply install this new version without problems. or do I need a fresh Xenonauts install? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kabill Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Hope Skitso doesn't mind answering for him: yes, simply overwriting with the new version will work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyDaemon Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I checked the building sub map and it seems to be ok, so must be a game issue then... Sorry, but can't fix that. No biggie. Thanks for looking into it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
